The Spirit/Golden Eyes

Full-Frontal Assault: Since the game is in first-person, you never really see the player character... until you go into your menus to manage your stuff. Then you get to see a nondescript, featureless, naked male person floating in a void.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero!: Misusing colour leads to several Brothers and Sisters berating you, since every drop of Nerva you spend brings the Void that much closer to death.

Weird Moon: From her boat cradle she can see the moon through the hole in the cave ceiling. The moon has one eye, and it stares back at her. Also, the moon can be seen when the Player walks outside the cave. It is unclear if it is somehow related to Uta's attire.

Mysterious Waif: No one really knows her motivations and wishes, except she is presented as a scared little girl.

Warden, however, does not believe her and considers her to be a Creepy Child. Then again, he is the Brother and has his own morality.

Nothing Is Scarier: Yani's chamber is the only one which contains no background music. Occasionally, the silence is broken by the sounds of footsteps out of nowhere.

Room Full of Crazy: The chamber where she lives resembles an abandoned and dark flat. Not only it is decrepit and dirty, its walls are also covered with blood stains, the rooms contain several tombstones, broken furniture and piles of strange books. In contrast, Yani tends to stay in a neat bed with a canopy, possibly seeing it as a safe place.

Ole

Voiced by: Megan Gay

One of the top-most Sisters among with Yani, having the image of an eternal bride. She accepts amber and violet. Her Brother is Pit, but it's implied that The Spirit was intended to become her Brother.

Distaff Counterpart: To Yani. She looks more like a hopeful and lighter version of her, and the Garden situated near her chamber in the Void is absolutely similar to Yani's garden, except it has a light day sky, but covered in thick brown mist.

Facial Markings: White and blue curving lines that go from her forehead, over her eyes, down to her chin. She also has some sort of symbol on her forehead.

Lighter and Softer: Not only her chamber is a lighter counterpart to Yani's, it is the only chamber that has windows and is lit enough not to be scary. It is still decrepit, but looks more positive and hopeful than chambers of other sisters.

Older Than They Look: Has been waiting for The Spirit to arrive since she came into existence, to the point The Spirit looks old enough to be her dad. But Sisters aren't actually "born" until they reach the Surface, so that may be why.

Echo

Voiced by: Marty Sander

The cryptic and mysterious Sister who once ran away together with Aya. Because of this, unlike the other Sisters, Echo doesn't have a chamber, so she wanders instead. She accepts silver and violet.

Cloudcuckoolander: Constantly tells crazy stories about her vision of the world, to the point that most of her dialogues are nearly incomprehensible.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Once committed a crime against Brothers and ran away from her punishment. This way Echo could be considered as well-intentioned... or not exactly, due to strange morality of the Void and Brothers in partucular.

Aya

Voiced by: Manon Kahle

Like Echo, Aya also wanders, and refers to Echo as "master". She is the insidious Sister and has a plan to escape. She accepts amber and crimson.

Dark Is Evil: Not only her hair is black, Aya is the only character in game who openly wants to destroy everything. She asks the Player to make her ascend so that she could spread chaos even at the higher plane of existence.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Just like Echo, but in another way. Because she never actually states what kind of chaos she wants to spread at the higher plane, her motivation can be seen as one, due to fact she wants Brothers to die.

Nameless Sister/ Sister Death

Voiced by: Laura Cameron

The first Sister you meet, and also the one who gives you a heart. She accepts emerald and gold, and can't be poisoned by any colour. She has no Brother.

Back from the Dead: With great difficulty, it is possible to save her from Absolute Death, at the cost of all your colour.

First Girl Wins: She's the first Sister you meet and it's possible to ascend her. Really hard to, though.

Patriarch

Voiced by: Clayton Nemrow

Una's Brother, one of the nicer and calmer Brothers, like Whaler. This attitude may be due to the fact he is very old and does not have enough strength to argue with other Brothers, but break enough rules, and he will roll out to punish you.

Big Brother Mentor: Of a sort. He really cares about you and does try to help you sometimes.

Carry a Big Stick: His main weapon is a long piece of scrap metal, which he also uses to operate the wheels that substitute for his legs.

Handicapped Badass: In Patriarch's case, it is played more straight than with other Brothers, with him having defunct legs and moving around on wheelchair-like contraption. But underestimating him is not a good choice.

Triumphator

Voiced by: Darren Smith

Ire's Brother, locked in strange mechanism resembling a pipe organ with other sound-making devices attached. He is not very serious and acclaims the reason to spend Colour, due to him and his Brothers being sinful.

Musical Assassin: Due to him being a music-themed Brother, he plays his own background fighting music. It is better to keep distance when fighting him, because he is armed with a pair of cymbals and will strike them if you approach him; the resulting shock wave can easily deplete you of all your Colour.

Stationary Boss: He can teleport when in danger, but will otherwise remain in place until he can teleport again.

Ironclad

Voiced by: Neil Watch

Eli's Brother, who is fully covered in iron armor on tank treads. Being one of the most enhanced Brothers, he states that the metallic parts of the body are used to help holding giant amounts of Colour inside.

Caterpillar

Voiced by: Jeff Burrell

Ima's Brother, who moves on a rolling ball. He is the most analytic of all Brothers and constantly strives to understand the nature of Colour. This is why he acclaims the colour-hungry motivation of Sisters, thinking about them as an another point of view.

Flunky Boss: This is the only way he can hurt you. He's accompanied by a bunch of rolling balls, similar to the one he uses to move around.

Gravity Master: One of his attacks involves pulling you to him. It can be avoided by hiding behind some obstacle.

Pit

Voiced by: Unknown

He was the brother of now-runaway Aya. Has a huge drill in place of his legs, which he can use to tunnel. Also, he is the victim of massive decay. His opinion on you is neutral and he does not want to interfere in the way of other Brothers.

Broken Bird: The reason why he is so mutilated is that he rebelled against Brothers and was temporary exiled to the lower plane.

Tyrant

Voiced by: Jeff Burrell

He once was Echo's brother, until she ran away. Along with Warden, he is an evil Brother and despises the Player, trying to expose his true nature. One of the most disturbingly-looking Brothers, due to having four heads, four hearts and four arms attached to a giant wheel.

Bonus Boss: While most of the Brothers are optional fights, Tyrant is the one you're least likely to fight. He doesn't participate in the witch hunt and is the hardest to anger.

Rolling Attack: Averted for some reason: in his fight he rolls in his arena circumferentially, but is unable to do any damage should you step in front of his wheel.

Montgolfier

Voiced by: Neal Watch

This Brother returns from the lower plane of existence while the plot progresses, and Ole is given to him. Like Pit, he lost a lower half of his body, and this part of him is replaced with a giant hot air balloon.
